Tried to wild and failed but still became lucid.

I was in a forest but the nature was different from my country. I looked around and it just didnt seem right. The trees just were really different. I looked around little bit and realized i was dreaming. I looked my hands and they looked really clear and focused. I looked around again while thinking what should i do. I saw mountain up ahead and decided to walk there. I climbed the mountain normally just to see how it would feel compared to reality physical toll on body. It felt excatly the same. So i started jumping from rock to rock and it felt really clumsy because it was so clear and i kind hesitated because of the realism of the dream. So i tried to jump faster until i decided to give up and flew to top of the mountain. I looked around and it was beautifull I saw only forest around me and really bright sun up ahead. I walk towards the edge of the mountain (It had flat surface). I thought i should see drop down and stop right before the ground. So i took one more step and began to fell really slowly. I tried to make my fall faster but my mind was stopping it. I decided to just fly as fast as i could.
As i started to increase my speed i just couldnt get faster certain point it was really slow. I felt the cool air and the tug in my stomach but i couldnt just push myself go to faster. I just stopped in the air looked around and thought how amazing and clear the dream was. It just were so vivid. I began to notice dream fading and tried to fly faster and grap something but the faded and faded until i saw everything really blurry i grapped the tree before i lost my vision and fell to darkness. I still felt the tree in my hand but nothing else everything were just dark. I the began to lost the sensation of the tree and i lost all sense and was second in a complete darkness and until i suddenly just darkness changed and i felt my body. I opened my eyes and was awake. This dream was one of those really vivid and high lucidity.

I was cleaning basement in my house when two bats flew inside through doors and hanged themselves on ceiling... I looked at them and I saw something malicious in them. Their eyes were slightly alight with red light. I thought- vampires... I let them be for time being as they didn't do anything. I returned to cleaning some mess(dust, saw dust, small scraps of paper and small pieces of wood) again.
Then third bat flew inside, this one was big. It was normal one. One bat (transformed vampire) flew startled away and big bat flew after him.
Second bat changed to vampire and ran to me- head first, mouth open, teeth glistening... I catched his head gently, changed his course slightly and smashed him hard head on into wall next to me. Vampire was greatly disoriented... He forgot what he wanted to do. He was shaking... I returned to cleaning. Vampire recovered after minute or so and attacked again... And I did the same as before and smashed him into wall with ever stronger force- vampire vanished into dark cloud and cloud evaporated into nothingness. I returned back to cleaning without thinking about what happened.

Note: whole time I felt to be in peace, relaxed... even through that incident with attacking vampire.

I need to start doing better again at recording my dreams. I have now had so many dreams that are lost forever.

Last Night's Dream:

I had some potted plants that I had sitting in a casserole type pan with water in it. I decided to move the plants. I was about to dump out the rest of the water from the pan when I noticed a baby fish in the water. I looked closer and saw another fish. I suddenly realized that the pan was full of tiny fish. I decided to pick up the pan to take it to my pond and let the fish out. As I picked up the pan I had trouble holding it steady and ended up dumping a bunch of the water out. I saw little fish all over my rug. I very carefully tried to pick up each tiny fish. When I thought I had them all, I tired to move the pan again. And again I splashed out a whole bunch of water and fish. I had a styrofoam cup. I tried decided to put some of the water and fish in that cup, so the pan wouldn't be as full. I kept picking up fish off the floor, soon my cup was full of dozens of little fish of all different kinds.

Dream 1

I was on a trip with a group of people who were bad guys I think. We stopped at a place where there were people I knew and people I didn't know. I walked to a couple of people I use to see and said "Hey guys. Guess its time for me to sit down and pretend that you don't notice me again" than I sat down and tried turning on a television.

As I was fiddling around with the T.V. I heard a religious man say to a boy that he couldn't do something he wanted to. I felt it wasn't fair and told him to look at my notebook filled with all the Japanese language I practiced over the years. Than told him that if you work hard enough you can achieve a fullfilling goal. But the guy just looked at me and said that it was useless stuff that I was wasting my time on.

I got mad and told him to tell me why but he didn't want to. Than another guy said that what I had in my book wasn't good enough. I flipped through the pages to prove him wrong but showed him a drawing of my anime walk cycle I did. I said "oops, wrong page". Than he said that none of my art work mattered in the art industry and that I was wasting my time.

I knew he was wrong because I knew what I needed to create good art without their help. I just needed inspiration so I could actually do it. I shouted at him again when suddenly a lady with a rope came and pulled my hands away by swinging it at my arms. She said that the guy was wrong and that she understood how hard it is to draw and the work that goes into it. I felt better after she said that and FA in a different room.

I was sitting on a bean bag chair with my old pink heart pillow. I thought I woke up from a nightmare cause my heart was beating really fast. I looked up trying to calm myself and noticed a huge anime picture of a little girl and something in hiragana. I didn't try reading it though. I was more focused on calming my fast heart beat. Than I woke up. My heart wasn't even beating fast.

Dream 2

I was inside a house that was suppose to be mine but wasn't. My family and step sister were there talking about a movie they were going to watch. I wanted to watch too but felt like going to the bathroom first. When I looked in the mirror I was surprised to see a big spot of bright purple paint on my left cheek. I went to the living room and asked my family "when did I get paint on me?" but they didn't know.

I didn't let that bother me though and decided to try to get the paint off my cheek and hands. But when I looked down I noticed that I was wearing a white t shirt and light purple paint was all over it too. It was confusing to me how random things were getting with the paint but as I thought about it in the bathroom I figured out that it was a dream.

In the bathroom I could see that the place was stretching out and soon appeared at a room filled with people who supposedly were apart of a secret organization. They were talking, smoking and planning out what they wanted to do next. (I think Marcus was there too talking about his invention to another character but i didn't really focus on his face. I just looked but was distracted by everything that was going on in the room)One of the guys dressed in long black jacket said he wanted to look for his girl. The others approved of his decision than went out the room. I followed him out but than looked back when he looked back at me.

I pretended to be stupid so he just turned the other way and started walking. This made me laugh but than he came back and looked at me. I pretended to be weird again and he just left. But than he came back and was like "wait a minute." than grabbed me and lifted me to the room. He than took 2 tanks of sleeping gas and threw it in a room,along with other dream characters.

I fell to the floor trying not to fall asleep with the gas and managed to stay awake. When I got up I noticed the place was starting to look like a fancy place where people could eat and hang out. I sat down and observed my surroundings. But what caught my attention the most was a song about coco puffs coming out of a radio. I pointed out how funny it was to a girl who approached me.

She agreed that it was funny and handed me a bowl of cooked beef. I was going to eat it but than she asked me " What do you think of this vast universe you are in now?" I thought about it and played with the beef in the bowl. I could see a portal opening up in the bowl and tiny characters moving around. I didn't really know what to say and than the dream setting changed.

I was now in a room watching a preview for a new xialin showdow cartoon and a movie trailer of a boy who takes a sacred canoe in a Asian place to solve some sort of mystery about his life. I was thinking about what type of Asian movie this could have been than appeared outside in a city.

In the city I was trying to help a cartoon find their lost puppy. Although I felt the jaguar that had been released ate the dog already. We still kept looking for the puppy though. As we were walking I looked up at a fire escape and noticed 4 huge parakeets on it.

I asked the cartoon if they were harmless but than just decided to run. We ran into a subway and were safe because the birds couldn't fit in through the entrance. As we were walking the dream changed again.

I was now in a room with my mom,two other ladies,(I think they were drying their hair) a guy and two other guys that looked like twins. I was talking to one twin and he was making a joke or something. Than he gave me a green apple and asked how many classes i had. I said "Uh...I don't know...one."

Than he started laughing and making fun of how i said one. I said it was only on Mondays (This isn't really true though since I have more classes but on different days) than tried to eat the apple after that but it was covered by paper and stickers. The twin that made fun of me tried peeling the thing off his apple and started singing "Take it out, Take it out, Take it out." Than i woke up.

Hey All,

I just wanted to share something with you that's been messing with my dreaming. Whenever I write or journal before bed, no matter what I think about before I drift off to sleep I end up going to the places I write about. I don't know if anyone else has this issue but if they do, you are not alone my friend!

To fix this I'm going to make it a point to write out the dreams I want to have before sleeping. I'll let you know if this works.

I watched breaking bad which seem to have effect on my dream.
I was in very crooked house. There were like 6 floors. I was doing something at the basement dont remember what but somebody tried to shoot me. I began to ran with my friend to the 6th floor and this is were everything went weird. Each floor which we climbed seemed to change the house more crooked and colorful. It was like the crooked houses in amusment parks.
Each floor became more complicated and weirder. At the fifth floor the room was purple and there were no stares to 6th floor. The floor were really really bumby and there were these sudden drops. I saw a that we could climb sideways trough the wall to the 6th floor. We climbed to the doorway to the 6th floor which led outisde but when i looked back the guy who was chasing us found us and tried to shoot at me. I was outside but the guy shot me in the back but there was no pain. We started speaking about something with guy who shot me and my friend as i laid on my back in ground. I thought i propably was gonna die until i realized im immortal . I shot the guy who tried to kill us and just went to walk outside. I was half lucid at this point i allmost realized i was dreaming but dream logic convinced me that i couldnt die. My recall became pretty bad at this point.
I continued my dream with the idea i was immortal and went to see my friend. His whole family was in his place and we ate there and i dissed my friend how shitty cook he was. Somehow how i lottery ticket dont remember how and i told my friends mom that we were gonna win the jackpot. After that there was just boring dreams about normal life.

I'm trying putting a full line of space between my paragraphs.

I recall a very odd dream where I was staying with Varrick (from LOK) only he was a real person and not a cartoon. He accidentally unleashed this experimental gas into his house and everyone started running to escape.

Everyone got into the elevator. It was so full and it moved so slow that I decided to take the stairs. I ran down to what I thought was ground level but I couldn't find the exit outside. I was in this huge stucco complex with a glass dome over it. It was supposedly something Varrick had created; a small city for all of his workers and visitors. I continued running and eventually found the exit.

...

At the end of the dream everything became cartoon like again. In fact I think that I had escaped and was watching a cartoon. Varrick was flying in the air and the lower half of his body and legs were robotic; complete with rocket boots allowing flight. He laughed and stated indirectly that he was going to be a villain now.


I was on DV. I was looking at DJ entries I had posted the last couple days and they were all really long. I remember in one of them I had to scroll through three or four screens just to get through the non lucid portion of the dream, then another two or three screens for the lucid portion. It was all written in the way I would normally write a long dream. Dialogue with DCs, Couple of smileys here and there. A picture or two.

There were tons of comments on these bloated DJ entries too. I think the one with the most had 22 separate comments. None of them were replies from me or anything; they were all from different users.

Kinda funny that being on a dry spell this is the exact opposite of what my DJ entries end up looking like. (Though even if I wasn't on a dry spell my dreams have never been that long or complex... I sure wish they were... ) Though I wonder if I can use this little dream for autosuggestion...

In the last 30 days I logged 20 "dreams", 17 "fragments", and 2 LDS.

A measurable, month long goal related to this recall data:

"between 12/2 and 1/2 I will log at least 30 dreams and 5 Lucid dreams"

That allows for a 10% increase in "dream" recall and a 150% increase in the number of lucid dreams. I feel this is achievable as with "auto-pilot" LD practice and almost no effort being put into recall I was still getting an LD about once every 30 days. During this time I will also have more than a week of time during which I will be able to sleep longer than is typical and therefore be more courageous with my WBTB and MILD practice. I will re-read the sections of ETWOLD you mentioned as well.

My brother and I were going on a boat trip with my dad. The boat was kind of small and it looked a little like a a canoe. As my dad was packing supplies on, my brother and I went down to this area right next to a river. Also the river I was looking at was a dream sign. Then my brother Graeme and threw me in the water. He came in and pulled me under water (as a game). As he was pulling me I noticed that I was breathing. I still didn't become lucid from this.

LD

Interesting parts :

Try to imporve quality of dream scene by Saying intent or pure intent . I gain more visual detail and after i try change color contrast dream become more "live like" in one part a little overdid it and color and contrast were unnatural. I also try change size of my visual field it work but i dount remember details if field actualy become bigger or if i can only better previve by peripheral vision.

I try some fireballs

I try summon one beaing (didind work but i try only one time without too strong intention or special method)

Go trought some old house from garden and try to get to some civilization.

I went down the street to small square and in front of one store i saw some girl and i remember dream task i read before sleep here in forum "Basic Task i - Hit a DC with a snowball and report their reaction - (kilham)" I give it a try , no snow in dream scene so i materialize snow ball directly . Reaction of DC when i hit her with snowball was: What are you doing . From the next part of dream i remember only small pieces. I know that I have tried to materialize another snowballs and try them on other people, also something with telekinesis and teleportation of a snowballs.

Bah - I was confident, but never mind.

Non lucid fragments

A man handed me a book, it had the thrilling title of 'Montrose Doctors - A History since 1973'
I thought one of my employess would like a look. We opened it and it was mainly full of maps of the town on shiny paper. I tried to point out where my shop was and pointed to the wrong place. Some of the locations had the wrong names. Part of Montrose was labelled 'Uganda' if I mind right!

Birding with my son. a group of finches flew overhead, then a Goldfinch sat on a bush a few feet away and I was conecered my son couldn't see it.

The floor of a room was covered in stuffed Woody Woodpecker toys.

Time Travelling to Lin Beifong's and Peggy Hill's Life (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I recall being in an environment that had a royal vibe to it; spacious, and fairly luxurious with big panel windows that would provide a nice view of what could be a gargantuan virtual experiential world my mind is creating. Most of the dream is blurry at some points, mostly occurring through peripheral vision, and I felt this was done to fixate on the premise behind the dream.


The plot itself is contrived, and I’m not even sure if this is the correct objective, but I believe I’m assigned to go into the past to find out about someone’s life in their youth. I’m presuming between Lin Beifong’s past, and for some reason, Peggy Hill’s life as well. I didn’t question the logic behind the dream, mostly because I felt like there were some kind of psychosomatic predispositions at play to constrain any temptation to speculate further.

I’m not sure who was assigning me this task, but I have a feeling it was Suyin Beifong.

I do recall interacting with someone that looks just like her, albeit more calm than her already calm and upbeat disposition in the series, The Legend of Korra. Apparently, the tool that I would be using as a conduit for time travel was apparently a cut-off piece of a Cheetos Puff bag.

But at the same time, I felt weird that a Cheetos Puff bag-ex-machina would be my means of time travel, and I became more skeptical later on in the dream of its potency in general. To describe the experience of whenever I’m time traveling for in this dream, imagine being engulfed by a dark, jaded green surrounding with elaborate and fanciful markings in the background; almost like some kind of trippy, spiritual, and metaphysical vibe that would end up as the intermission while my mind tries to fabricate another virtual experiential reality for me to partake in.

And while I’m time traveling, it’s pretty much spectator mode at this point rather than having a conscious third person view point that I can fluctuate in and out with first person view as well. There’s all sorts of camera panning, zooming in and out, and rotations during this experience. One of the distinct experiences was seeing Peggy Hill sitting down in what seems to be a classroom. It was peculiar to see her in a class sitting listening to someone rather than the other way around. She was also wearing red royal robes with a gold trimming near the region from the top of her breast region, and all the way down to her feet.

It could’ve just been bath robes that seemed to be luxurious as well. I synch myself back to the “present” in the dream to probably relay information to Suyin, and I noticed that Lin Beifong is offering me a bar of dark green soap with varying shades of green that looks like it’s been used already judging by how small and thin it looks.

Apparently, this would be another means to time travel, but at this point, I figured it was just the item itself that was a crutch for not having to deal with how I would have to conceptualize time travelling when I’m doing it subconsciously, I guess.

Or she’s giving me a bar of soap to hint that I should go clean myself in the dream. But I didn’t really feel filthy in particular; I was surprisingly calm and collected throughout the dream, almost as if there was a surge of positivity inside of me that gave a cool and liquid sensation.

I’m on a bit of dry spell right now, so I’ll describe this lucid dream from July 27, 2014. In this dream, seeing my ‘Dream Guide’ actually made me lucid. Btw, this dream figure hasn’t been around much lately. My dream guides now seem to be mostly family and close friends.

After I became lucid, I decided to show my wife how I could levitate a pencil while lucid. I think this was the first time I actually levitated something in my 40 plus years of LD’s. I had recently read about this LD skill, and decided to give it a go. You know, up until recently, I had little knowledge about what was actually possible during a LD (thanks mostly to Dreamviews). Any who, my wife wasn’t very impressed with my new LD skill. My Dream Guide stood there intently watching. I then asked my wife to lie down on the coffee table, and she did. I levitated her 1 foot off the table, and then she wouldn’t go any higher. She still wasn’t impressed, and then I tried even harder. She floated almost to the ceiling! A vertical glass tube, about 2 ½ feet in diameter, and 7 foot tall, appeared to the left of me. How or why, I had no idea. I then instant transported my wife from levitating to standing upright inside the glass tube. Yup, you guessed it; she still wasn’t impressed (even though I was). I was aware of the ‘instant transport’ technique, because I can do that to myself while lucid, but I’ve never tried it, up until this point, to somebody else. I just think, “I’m there!”, and then I instantly transport from point A to point B. Next, I decided to levitate my wife out of the glass tube, but there wasn’t enough clearance between the ceiling and the top of the glass tube, so I asked my Dream Guide to tilt the glass tube over, and he did. I then floated my wife out of the tube and placed her gently, feet down, on the floor. At this point I forgot I was dreaming, and continued on with the adventure in a non-lucid state.
